With the playoffs right around the corner, I figured it was time to revive this thread.

So how about those Habs and Leafs? This Saturday they're going to battle it out for spot #8! Short of a game 7 Conference Finals, this is probably one of the most exciting types of games that can happen between these two rivals.

I'll be rooting for the Habs this Saturday and even if they win, they probably won't make it pass the first round. But hey, as long as we beat Leafs Nation, it's all good!

Freakin' Ducks couldn't close out the Division with 6 secs left in regulation. Now they have to win today or atleast go into OT. Hopefully the Canucks will beat the Sharks so I can watch the game with less stress. The Jackets has had our number this season.

Leafs/Habs game should be really good. I just hope the Isles lose in the day game so that the winner of the Leafs/Habs game will be in the playoffs. It will make it a much better game. I hope the Leafs win just because it will make the playoffs more interesting with them in rather than with them out.

As for my team, the Rangers, if they win today they clinch 6th (or if Tampa doesn't win). Then we will face Atlanta which I'm positive we can beat. Otherwise, it's the Devils if we get 7th, and although I think we can beat them too, I'd rather face Atlanta.

To heck with the Ducks- the Sharks are gonna take the west. It sucks being a hockey fan out here on the west coast. Most people have no idea about the game even though it is clearly the best professional sport by a landslide.

Come on Isles!!! Now they just have to win their last game and the make it in the 8th spot in the east.

Wait....Their last game is against Jersey! Crap... This isn't promising. At least the isles will be playing with all their hearts. They have a playoff spot on the line so they'll be playing their hardest. The devils already have a spot so they wont be giving 100%, after all don't want to get any injuries in a game with absolutely no benefits.

I don't agree with the first sentence but I agree with the rest. One more thing, there is no shootouts in the playoffs. Ducks owned the Sharks this season (5-2-1).

The statistics of the regluar season match-ups between the Ducks and Sharks could have been much closer. The Sharks gave away stong leads in two of the games(if I recall correctly), and several were pretty close. I think that if the Sharks play to their full potential they can beat the Ducks in a playoff series (if it came down to that). Either way it turns out, it'd be one hell of a series.

I'm rooting for a California WCF. It will be a great series as all the Sharks vs Ducks games have been playoff like this whole season. It will be more intense in the real playoffs but I doubt the Sharks will be able to handle the Ducks physical style of play for an entire series. The Ducks have not really played up to their true potential the whole season having only played a few complete games, yet they still are up the top of the league. I think if stay focused in the playoffs they are the team to beat but you can never tell with the playoffs. I just hope they take it this season. Anyway, I wish your team luck as I'd like to see an all California WCF. After that, it's all Ducks baby.
